If you observe: What’s your Christmas tree aesthetic?

Orderly ornaments precisely spaced?

Can’t see the tree under all the ornaments?

Do you have a specific color scheme or theme?

Heirloom and handmade ornaments?

Do the kids help decorate? Do you like me have an extreme amount of ornaments approximately at 6yr old height and below?

Bubble lights! My inner child now wants them. Reminded her of Gramma’s tree.

@ceorl @MotherDucker

Okay. You know my Inner Child is running rampant today as the adult is in Covid relapse.

She searched Bubble on your provided link and found the Christmas tree bubble nightlight. Faster than a speeding bullet, she dug out the credit card and ordered the bubble tree. Says it will be festive in our windowless kitchen.

We must not encourage this irresponsible behavior in IC.

🥰🎄❤️

@LnzyHou
I'm happy for her, and I'm sure she deserves it :)

Better close the site now or you will order more things for her ;)

Swell. Caught IC back on Vermont Country Store site shopping Peanuts Christmas flannel sheets for the van at $139!

I’ve hidden the credit card from her.

@ceorl @MotherDucker

And well you should. She’s not to be trusted before Christmas. Besides, we already got flannel sheets for the van with bears and Christmas trees. She thinks they are too “adult”.

@LnzyHou @MotherDucker @ceorl MY IC also demands flannel sheets, dont have to be patterned but its a year round demand. Even in summer its got to be flannel.

@MotherDucker

No room/desire for tree any longer. I decorate with amaryllis & poinsettia with lights. Baby pictures of me and Abby.

@MotherDucker mostly sentimental ornaments with a smattering of shatterproof balls.
Koda likes to take one ornament in particular off the tree everyday and then lays it back on the branches. I'm sure as he gets older the ornament placement will shift. 😂

@MotherDucker this is a struggle among us between minimalism, heirloom, color, and pattern. It was easier when the kids were little and they just put up everything we had. That was actually my personal preference, and now some ornaments get retired just because they're moldy or broken!

@MotherDucker We used to have a silver and blue aesthetic when we were just a couple, because nobody has a curated Yule tree when they have kids. We figured that was our chance!

As expected, it is now full of homemade decorations all over the place. Budding Bodhisattva helps decorate, but loves using the step ladder so it's fairly even 😄

@MotherDucker
Kids are grown so they no longer here to help. My roll is carrying boxs of decorations up and making myself scarce while the wife decorates the tree. Then I carry the boxes until it's time to take it all down.
We have enough ornaments to do several trees. Mostly glass characters.

@MotherDucker mine looks like the tree and everything that goes on it did a whole lot of meth and wrestled itself. The lights are all multi colored and the ornaments are just the round cheap ones from Walmart.
